COCOMELON DELUXE JJ INTERACTIVE DOLL
RRP £39.99, toystreet.co.uk £32.49 SAVE £7.50 (currently out of stock) One of the best things about this toy is it’s a doll which is also a boy, and though that’s not unheard of, it is ridiculously rare.

A large-scale realistic dinosaur action figure, which rex-loving kids can play with, while interacting with its moving parts. Press buttons to activate the roar, claw slash, tail whip and slash and grab attack.

BLUEY FAMILY HOME PLAYSET SAVE: £5
RRP £39.99, Very.co.uk £34.99
From the animated TV series on Cbeebies and Disney+, here the Blue Heeler pup comes complete with his own home.

PAW PATROL CHASE’S DELUXE TRANSFORMING VEHICLE

GASSY GUS
RRP £24.99, The Entertainer £19.20
SAVE: £5.79
Players take it in turns to feed Gus with a foodie card, each of which has a number on it. You then have to pump his head the number of times written on that card, which inflates his stomach. Once he gets full, he lets out wind and a chuckle, and whoever made him do that has to pick up cards. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins.

to its vibrant original. Oh – and it’s available in two different skin tones.
